| preisi | (Hopefully) quick question: How does disko handle changes to the disk-configuration of a running system? From my understanding, the partitioning/formatting is only done when actually executing disko (which shouldn't be done automatically by e.g., nixos-rebuild). But is the generated filesystem config stable enough for it to handle it? (It's using /disk/by-partuuid as far as I understood so it should be okay?)
Or are there any destructive (inter)actions by/through disko that I need to be aware of for productive usage? :) | 09:37:03 |

| tmarkov | Hi! I'm using disko for partitioning, with btrfs subvolumes on luks. Now I manually created a new subvoume, and added it to the disko config. But after rebuilding, it wasn't added to fstab for some reason, and doesn't get mounted. Is there some catch that I could be missing there? | 20:33:24 |
 lassulus | hard to say without the config, but in theory it should get mounted if you add it there | 20:42:03 |

 matthewcroughan | lassulus: https://github.com/nix-community/disko/pull/740 | 09:22:31 |
| matthewcroughan | dunno how this was missed | 09:22:33 |
| matthewcroughan | just nobody using it I guess | 09:22:56 |
| lassulus | the format is called f2fs-tools? | 09:23:08 |
| matthewcroughan | oops | 09:23:47 |
| matthewcroughan | it passed the vm test though | 09:24:02 |
| matthewcroughan | wtf | 09:24:04 |
| matthewcroughan | how is that possible | 09:24:22 |
| matthewcroughan | I guess just because the act of putting "f2fs" into boot.supportedFilesystems is enough to make the VM Test work thanks to the github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/tasks/filesystems/f2fs.nix#L16-L18 | 09:25:30 |
| matthewcroughan | BTW, I think http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/faq/ubi.html would be interesting to support in Disko, though I'm not entirely sure how it would work yet | 09:25:48 |
| matthewcroughan | JFFS2 | 09:25:56 |
| matthewcroughan | In reply to @lassulus:lassul.us
the format is called f2fs-tools? amended anyway, though it's interesting that VM tests won't catch those issues due to modules/tasks/filesystems in nixpkgs | 09:27:06 |

| @shinri:zince.net | Hi. I'm shifting to tmpfs root with disko configuring my disk partition ( my conf here: https://git.sr.ht/~zincentimeter/nix-conf/tree/main/item/system/disko.nix ). How can I mount it as /nix and left all directories except /nix/* to be on disk? Should I move all the existing files of /nix to / before go forward to rebuild the directory layout? | 12:58:43 |

| nbrr | Hi! Looking to use disko and I have a few questions:
- It seems guides on the disko repo are for new installs. Is there something about using disko for an existing install?
- Do I have to describe all existing disks with disko or can I just use disko for a single new drive I'm adding?
- I want to declare a disk with a couple of btrfs subvolumes. If I ever want to add more subvolumes, can I just add it to the disko declaration and have it perform the operation?
| 10:54:21 |
| lassulus | disko works for already installed systems, although writing a disko configuration is a bit more involved than declaring fileSystems.* so there wouldn't be much real gain. You can define many disks and btrfs subvolumes and you can rerun the creation step and it "should" just add the new subvolumes. although that is a new and untested feature, so use it with care (and backups) | 12:38:53 |
